Reno, Nev., July2.--"lvrriax take
d evil of a licking, but I wil get him,"
Is the manner in which Jamee" J.. Jef

with Jim Corbett yesterday. This stern-
, hearted. workmanJeffrlos,- la a Saxon
.farmer come to gather in'the "hay. Ha
r -will .-waltr patiently -4a - thati-riftg until
the crop la ready for the barn, and then
he. will mow it, carefully and speedily.
. .,, He is a atrong. stubborn .workman.
That is the" impresslpn which personal
lty and physique tlve. It may be rainy
weather for a while, and the drops may
fall' thick iuad fasti Bareheaded and
barebodled he will stand up while they
roll of from him. When tha time comes
he will finish up bis tak. ; ':-'r;
Glory, ambition, the adulation of thou
sandsthey, don't mean" anything; save
nuisance, to this big man of the. soil,
this hired man. who will have earned
his money on the evening of the Fourth
of July and before he can go away to
hunt and fish, ,
"-"Will JM Sftttla la Kls Own Way."
He has his own idea about the best
way. to earn that, money, too. He la. a
stubborn Individual, and -; would . not
change his mind to learn more boxing,
tit spite of trainers' advice. That plan
of his Is to' go ahead and take his lick-'
lng, to keep on and take more, and then
mora- etill and-to keep -walklng-in and
In and in until the marvelous defensive
machine before him. Is tired out, until
the black'-Frankenstein has" beeii got
under control. And then J Imagine when
that time does come he will sigh as a
field hand ' slshg ; when he sticks his
fork in the last mown pile and after
ward he will go home to dinner.
. STo Tricks; Just Hard Knocks.
He is a man without a sign of , sub
tlety without finesse or tricks or pol
icyone who goes along a straight line,
and that a line of his own making; a
fighter who Is hot skilled " In self-defense,
nor skilled in deceit by which to
gain openings for blows, but endowed
wih a maddening, stubborn advance,
and owning a face Which stays Impas
sive under punishment,- a man who doe
not-jo-e his taroper,Hbat .maintains a
sullen, smoldering, gVim determination;
Every trait he hat shown is- along
these stubborn gaxon-ilnes. - The man
, atlcks out in him. strong, often unrea
soning, often impolite, taciturn always,
and always lion hearted. His bad points
ar these of a strong masculine Indi
vidual. - The things which have made
people dlalike him -tha bearlshness. the
huge intolerance of those whom he does
rot know well, or does not like these
eami thingr tiave made people respect
him. " They Si spell strength. '
rPMemlnatloa All Throngi. .
' And. yet It Is not the strength of the
fighter who loves to fight, not the
- quickness of - mood ' amounting to fe
rocity; rather the strength of one who
wants, to stay at bom, but who, when
' forced to Tight, will fight; If needs be,
all day and then all the nlghtv Deter
mination to do, that la it He has been
known to stick to whipping a barren
trout stream hour after hour, and then
to' go back again, because he knew
Where there was a possibility of chanca.
. in little jthlngs this - determination
. sticks outT-Sometlffifetrwhen he -1 ap
.proached with a proposition, he answers
quickly. Again he talks the matter
over. But when he decides, he decidea
"What I' hava said,"f-hav said," 'is
hla way of doing It. ' "
' Anyone who has ever talked with him
knows the Incisive, quick sentences he
Is In the habit of delivering, i A period
every 10 words Is hlarmanner of speech.
' Boyish When He's Himself.
v He is a simple hearted man, a b'oy
when he is himself. That Is to eay,
when he is away from the crowd, which
! ' angers him to his sullen rags. He tus
sles with his friends; ha keeps his likes;
la spite of everything ha hangs to them.
You can't bear tales to Jeffries about
anyone for whom he cares. He is true
hearted to a fault But he is a fond
of fun as a boy.- Hit very fae when he
Is loafing is boyish at tlmea
f ; Jeffries4 JHghting race.
But get him in tha Ting, and how that
face changes! It grows impassive. It
arrows so Impassive that It Is like stone.
. Tha eyelids droop a little, the heavy
- brows draw a, little closer than their
wont. And thus the face remains so
. , long as the other man batters It "2J
Aa the body stays unshaken, so thai
race stays undisturbed, impassive.' 'And
th man conaojiiHeJkeeps , coming
s on, ttern, stubborn, but tremendously
undisturbed. - Ha looks jlike a man do
ing hard work, accustomed to toll, bent
on finishing It steadily, until he strikes;
then the face wakens and those heavy
lines , beside the mouth -deepen, while
the scowl becomes , pair of crevices
"between the brows.- " -. -.-; r; 4 : -

Jeffries, It has been asserted with
mora confidence , within the past few
days than, at any time since It was de
clared that ha had ''come back" in the
true sense, can go 41 rounds with ease.
The same claim has ben made tor John
son. But If they do go 41 rounds with
out; either having a sufficient Shade
upon which to base a verdict, will Jeff
ries stand, for a "draw," after all the
clamor about tha restoration of ; the
heavyweight crown to the white race?
Tom Flanagan, on behalf of Johnson,
declares unequivocally that if the fight
goes the prescribed limit without the
referee being able to call a winner John
son: wilt be perfectly wllllngo'go as
far as necessary to arrive at a decision,
even if a knockout be demanded.
Johnson Steady tor tha rinlrtu . ''
We do not believe the fight will go
the limit, because 'we feel confident that
Johnson will win long befor the forty
fifth round is reached," said Flanagan.
"For this reaaon we have' never figured
on the contingency of. its going further
than the limit called for by tha articles
Of agreement, but if at tha end of the
forty-fifth round. Rlckard la unable to
pick the winner, then ws will be ready
to proceed 10, 15, 10, or even 100 mors
rounds, if necessary to decide which of
the two Is the better-man. -V.v
"If the Jeffries crowd does not want
to stipulate ah extra number of rounds,
should they ba necessary, we will be
ready to go ahead to the extreme limit;
by i which' I mean;, that Johnson will
fight until either ; he or - Jeffries k is

Tha Jeffries" camp treats with acorn
the auggestionthat-Johnson .will last
4 S rounds.. Tha most nessimlstlo man
at Moana cannot concede that theegro
will be on his feat more than 10 rounds
and the probability of a draw has never
entered their minds. , .
Berger, when told of Flanagan's stand.
said:
"What is tha uaa of crossing a bridge
befors reaching It? The fight Is not
going ,45. rounds and Johnson need not
flgure that it will be necessary for Jeff
to go Into extra rounds to reach a de
cision.;" Would Jeff go beyond the : 45
rounds If both' men were' on their, feet
at the end and Rlckard was unable to
reach a decision? Now you're trying to
cross the bridge before coming to It"
Whatever Berger'a feeling may be in
the matter, Farmer .Burns, who baa
greater confidence i Jef f s ability than
anybody in campwould be willing to let
Jim go 10 rounds. If that number were
necessary In order to arrive , at a de

iw Burns seemed genuinely surprised at
the difference that a. year and a' half
in training had made in Jeffries' appear
ance. When he last saw big Jim, at Los
Angeles a couple of years ago, Jeffries
was the prosperous proprietor of a sa
loon and looked tha part" He bulged
about the waist, his neck tplded over
his ' collar and he had a well defined
double chin. ' -.' ; .....

Some of the men around Jeffs-quarters
questioned Tommy In respect to
Johnson's fighting abilities, feeling that

to be considered an authority on such

'Jeff said that . a -. few sprints and
strolls were all that he would engage in,
in the way of exercise, between now and
Monday. He has begun the drying out
process; that is, the shortening of his.

fighter's trainers begin to dodge him
when he is placed on short commission

is a criterion Jeffries will get through
the drying ordeal without belrig par

Jeffries wllK wear bandages In this
fight and It will be the first time in
many a year that bo has had his hands
bound In adhesive tape. In his early
battles Jeffries' hands went wrong fre
quently, and In the course of time, by
experimenting, he . found that he was
less liable to cripple" his hands if he. re
frained from bandaging them. When he
won the championship from Fitzslm
mons he fought without bandages and

engagements until he finally .went into

the subject Of general comment f It

vailed, namely, that worry bad marked

Reno, Nev July J.- Contrary to the
popular-belief, there Is nothing Incon
gruous Im th statement that Jeffries

career when he enters the ring on-Mob-
nay. xnera- la notmng miraculous in
thafaot-thatthia-trtta expression Is br

The reasonfot. doubt-was L that Jre

when he was only 50 and before his
aotual physical maturity, which. In men
or targe pnysiqua, often : comes lata
This is proved br "tha factthat ha is

he has developed in every way. Jeff

sene of ae"has beeV' but aa a precau
tion ha has devoted a year and a half
to preparation for this fight He has
usually given six weeks to preparation.
: .:r---;.; '. Miaa Svar. - -'. .
Jeffries will bo faster Monday than
he has been In any previous fight: His
whole system of training baa been de
signed to upbuild his speed and to
soften his muscles. With soft muscles
he will be better able to stand punish

and the result will be an athletic mas
terpiece of speed and endurance.- -
- -" Beoret Xs Told.- .- ' "
A great deal has been said of Jeff
ries', lack of boxing practice,. On the
ever of the fight, and now that secrecy
is no longer of value, I will say that
Jeffries has had practically double the
amount of boxing and massage that the
public has heard of, for. several weeks
past, and that practically on every day
when the crowd was disappointed at
not getting a chance to see tha big fel
low, work, Jeffries has been rising at 4
o'clock In the morning and hauling out

sage, the whole proceeding being kept

Johnson's camp that Jeffries wa not
working as hard- as necessary. - -
Jeffries will win in well under 10
rounds,"but should the battle go beyond
that it will sea Jeffries carrying the
fight and so full of speed and vitality
as to surprise all but his most intimate
